EduGameMeet is a no cost, informal, collaborative experience for educators, indie educational game designers and students. It is a F2F coming together of anyone interested in games for change/impact and their affordances in an educational context.
Educators around the globe have a highly successful track record with Unconferences, TeachMeets or EdCamps as venues for knowledge sharing. These live F2F and online events are structured in such a way that all who want to can present, usually posting their name, topic and time slot on a simple wiki page set up for the event.
These events allow for knowledge sharing and networking where people can leverage the assembled group to create new relationships and partnerships. There is traditionally no cost, people look after their own refreshments, and the venue is donated by a sponsor (often a school or educational organization). All we need on the day is a room, projection facilities and internet access. We usually arrange a live feed out to the internet (low tech but effective) to bring into the conversation interested educators about the globe.
